I'm a big fan of this series, but Seed was a lowpoint. Not sure how they're going to go from the lame ending of that film into the beginning of this one. But I'm happy to see a new sequel instead of a remake any day. Also really excited that it's supposed to be a throwback to the style of parts 1-3. I was fine with the humor in Bride (probably my favorite of the series), but Seed tried too hard and it ended up being painfully unfunny many times.

It's been discussed via news of the remake that animatronics will still be used for Chucky. You know suprisingly, the 6th film is being called Curse Of Chucky much like how the 6th Halloween film was (re)titled Halloween: The Curse Of Michael Myers. Ain't that a coincidink?

atleast don mancini is doing it and brad dourif is returning to voice chucky and the overall tone of the film is supposed be like the 2 and 3 films which in my books is a big plus even for a direct to dvd sequel.

CURSE OF CHUCKY begins filming in Canada today. The movie is going to be a "Universal DVD original" with Don Mancini once again directing. Here's the official press release:
